I've had a lot of fun recently, getting a cargo-ish ship (Keelback's fun for this, but no fighter "allowed" - makes you too strong), and playing as a support ship for miners in Haz-RES's. Pop in a repair limpet controller, cargo rack, and stock up on limpets. To make myself "feel" the role more, I put on some turrets and lower-end weapons instead of anything decent.
From there, I'll basically patrol the miners in the RES. If someone's in a fight, I'll help them out. When their hulls get low, I'll fix 'em up (because those morons will go happily back to mining with 3% hull). I "lose" for each miner that dies.
Not really a smart way to play if you want to make money, but it's good fun. I'm not sure how it could work, but it would be neat to see missions from local factions where you have to protect their miners like that.
Does anyone else have anything like that, where they've made their own mini-games? Do share!
